Kung Fu Panda Story (ORIGINAL)

Training Session

      In the morning everybody went to the kitchen to have breakfast, including Tigress. She took her regular tofu while the others ate the noodles that Po made. Tigress was still silent like the tiger she was, though Po noticed that she was more distant that usual. 

After breakfast was cleared up, everyone else went to train. Tigress was about to go too, despite her cut again, but Po stopped her so they could chat. "Tigress, is something wrong? You seem more distant than usual." 

Tigress kept her mouth shut and shook her head. "I'm fine." she said quietly.

 Po knew that he could do nothing to make her open up and tell him the truth even though he sensed that something was off. He just nodded and left to train with the others. Tigress saw him go. She was about to talk to Master Shi Fu, but was hesitant. She went to join the others in the training hall instead.

 In the training hall, Tigress was almost as powerful as ever only with slight pauses to catch her breath. Her wound made her incapable of doing her usual complicated movements. The others started to protest that maybe Tigress should rest for a while.

 They weren't keen on the idea that Tigress was training even though her cut had not fully healed, but she ignored their comments and continued training. The heroes started a one versus one challenge. Monkey fought with Viper an Mantis fought with Crane.  

    Po and Tigress fought together in silence. Neither of them said a word to each other, only the occasional 'Hiya!' when performing a few kung fu moves. Tigress was winning until Po belly flopped her onto the ground.

 "Hey!" She protested. "We're supposed to use kung fu. Not ourselves." She stood up into a fighting position again. 

"Well, I don't really care." Said Po grinned. "When fighting baddies, you're supposed to end them in any way possible. That includes belly flops!" 

Tigress just rolled her eyes and charged at him. He jumped aside just in time as Tigress was about to land a punch in his stomach. She caught her balance again quickly. They were at such an even match that they were competing against each other for almost an hour. They didn't even notice the rest of the Five were staring at them.  

 Eventually, one by one they started to leave to find something more interesting. Po and Tigress were on their own now. Tigress then lunged herself at Po making them both fall on the wooden floor. "Looks like I win." Tigress smirked. 

"Think again." said Po. He suddenly flipped them over so that it was now vise versa. They continued repeating the same movements over and over again, one aiming to be on top of the other for at least five seconds. 

Yet, about the tenth time they were wrestling, Po bent his head a bit to low when he flipped them both over, that his nose touched Tigress' yet again. They both felt their faces heat up. They looked at each other awkwardly for a while, before Tigress roughly pushed Po off her and stood up immediately.

 She sighed then said, "That's it. I'm out of here." With that, she left the training hall, closing the door behind her. Po sat up and scratched the back of his neck. 

"Well, that was unexpected." he said to himself. He left to get some food.
